    Y/N'S POV

   Lately, I had been taught a lesson for life, really. Once something broke, especially your heart, it was harder to gain that trust or love back. Clark and I may have still loved each other dearly, but our relationship had not been the same as it once was.
   Right now, I was leaning on the terrace, before I felt strong arms wrap around me. I knew it was Clark, but it took a minute to get used to his touch again. Clark buried his face in my neck.

   I gently pushed Clark away, before I headed over to the bed. I crashed and buried my face into the pillow. Clark rubbed my back and whispered encouraging words in my ears, while I leaned into his touch.

   I squeezed his hands saying,"I'm so sorry, Kent. I know you needed me, and I was not here..I love you more than anything and would do all I could to earn your trust again. I-"

   I stopped myself and looked down.

   Clark lifted my chin and looked into my eyes saying,"I need to apologize, too. I should not have blamed Lex's games on you and just went by your word. I am sorry for breaking you down and leaving you to handle the pain by yourself. What I want more than anything is to get back to the way things were, before the mess with Luthor, yeah?"

   I nodded and put my forehead on Clark's saying,"Okay, I am willing to push for you, Superman. So, we better get ready for work."

   Clark looked down at me and went to kiss me, but he pulled back and walked into the bathroom. I sighed in disappointment and pouted, because I really wanted a kiss. I shook off my thoughts and took a shower downstairs. Once I stepped out, I almost tripped over Krypto lying there.

   What was up with him being in the middle of the floor?

   I apologized, but Krypto just leaned on my leg. I played with him for a minute. I made my way up the stairs and bumped into something hard. Clark.

   My cheeks immediately heated up, and I stuttered saying,"Clark, I..well, I..-"

   Clark cut me off by kissing me like there was no tomorrow. I immediately responded and accidentally squealed in the kiss.

   Clark pulled away and chuckled saying,"What was that, sweetheart?"

   I rolled my eyes and hit Clark's shoulder, before I pulled him back in saying,"Just kiss me, Kansas. I have been waiting too long.."

   Clark smiled and kissed back, before he intertwined his fingers with mine. I let Clark decide to let go, and he started teasing me. I pushed him over the table behind him, and I could not help but giggle and clap at my accomplishment.

   When Clark got up, he was not smiling.

   I gulped and began to back away saying,"Kent, we can talk about this. I am sorry okay..I-"

   Clark cut me off by grabbing me and putting me over his shoulder. I squealed in surprise and noticed a playful yet sneaky look in Clark's eyes. He smirked, and I never liked his smirks. Clark flew towards me, and I immediately ducked.

   He ended up grabbing my waist and pulled me outside. I tightened my grip around his neck, and all I could see now was Superman.

   Superman kissed my nose but said,"So, I was thinking maybe we could go for a nice and bumpy ride.."

   When I realized what Clark meant, I immediately frowned and screamed. Superman chuckled and started doing tricks, which made me nervous.

   I yelled,"ALL RIGHT, CLARK! I AM SORRY, OKAY?!! JUST STOP!"

   Superman stopped, and I had to catch my breath. When I began to shake a little, Clark's blue eyes immediately softened.

   He buried his face in my neck and placed a sweet kiss there saying,"I am so sorry, beautiful. I just wanted to have some fun.."

   I shook it off, but I tightened my grip around Superman's neck. He flew us to the Daily Planet, before he carefully let me step down on to my floor number.

   He stroked my cheek and said,"I will be there in a minute, darling. Do not cause any trouble, yeah?"

   I smirked and Superman immediately regretted saying that to me. I giggled and gave him multiple kisses, but I did not stop. Superman blushed and it only got deeper. When I pulled away, I hugged him and ran to my desk.

   Jimmy attacked me in a hug, before I hugged back.

   He pulled away and said,"Boy, am I glad to see you, Y/N?!! What is up with Clark? I thought you helped him..."

   I went to reply, but I looked over to see Clark. He was sitting back in his chair and looking guilty of something. I immediately turned off the T.V. and went to say something, but Clark got up. I made my way over to him.

   Clark grabbed his saying,"There is something I need to do, darling. Everything will be okay, I promise..."

   I nodded and went to say something to Clark, but he was already gone.
